    Trying to replace the dampers in my 1000sp 84 The new FAC ones have the top bolt inegrated, but otherwise seems to fit. However, when I assemble the sping with the spring retainer, its too big to push through the tube at the threaded end.. does this mean I have to compress the spring while the...

    Rebuild SP1000 issues

    So I was trying to fit the original Le mans airbox because with just the plenmum and a foam filter the midrange noise is painful. With phf-36 carbs and the plastic manifolds ( https://www.stein-dinse.biz/product_info.php?products_id=1018 ) It seems the angle or length of the tubes from airbox...

    Thank you - great advice! gearbox was overhauled by HMB so I assume it's not on that side. I thought I had covered all bases on the engine side aside from the main bearing seal, the drip is much less than before, but I ssuppose you could be right about the bolts and the vent hose. Just alot...

    Rebuild SP1000 issues

    Thanks for the replies. I took the brake calibers apart, the pistons and rubber parts looked new and moved perfectly, when using compressed air. I removed som material of the pad and problem was solved. Tire direction is correct, but since they were off the wheel for painting I suppose the...

    So finally got my SP out and running, a few issues though. 1. left front caliber seems stuck, but it's kinda weird there is actually plenty room for the disc, but when I bolt the caliber on to the fork, the pad furthest away from the disc is pressed on the disc, but the pad closest to the wheel...

    Thanks both of you. I send the gearbox in to get checked and ahve seals and bearings replaced. yes I got the le mans airbox, and was thinking removing the snortkel as you suggest, but an odd problem is the 2 rubber inlet tubes are just 5mm too short to reach the carb.. not sure if it's because...

    Thanks for the advice Chris, I have a set of open universal Leo Vince I had from another guzzi, they sound good and it perfomed well with them, however the looks are 90 style so eventually they will go. I have a new Valeo starter on it. How do you pressure test it exactly? put pressure on oil...

    I have electronic ignition, and the cam in it now doesent have the drive anyway :) It just blows and rediculous amount of oil from the clutch housing, and I was afraid that this venting was the cause.. Guess I can just connect a hose to the valve at the original breather on the block, and...

    Its stainless for one, removes all the clutter between the cylinders, also the valve is gone. but the question was really if the function really is good enough venting from the front cover instead ?
